Description
Water contamination in aircraft fuel is a serious safety hazard that can cause engine failure, rough running, or complete power loss in flight. The ASA Aircraft Fuel Tester AFT-1 lets you quickly detect free and dissolved water in your fuel before you fly, giving you confidence that your tanks are clean. This handheld tester is a practical addition to your preflight routine, especially valuable if you suspect fuel quality issues or after long periods of storage.
The AFT-1 is straightforward to use—simply collect a fuel sample and follow the included instructions to check for water presence. It’s compact enough to carry in your flight bag and requires no batteries or complex setup. While not a substitute for proper fuel management and tank care, having a fuel tester on hand helps catch problems early and supports the thorough preflight inspection every responsible pilot should conduct.
